chemical process
A
ChemicalProcess
occurs whenever chemical compounds (
CompoundSubstance
s) are formed or decomposed. For example, reactants disappear as chemical change occurs, and products appear as chemical change occurs. In a chemical change a chemical reaction takes place. Catalysts in a
ChemicalProcess
may speed up the reaction, but aren't themselves produced or consumed. Examples: rusting of iron and the decomposition of water, induced by an electric current, to gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen.
separating
A
Process
where a
SelfConnectedObject
is separated into (some of) its
part
s. Note that
Separating
is different from
Detaching
in that the latter only results in the two objects not being
connected
. Note too that
Separating
is different from
Removing
in that one or both of the two things which are separated may or may not be moved from the location where they were separated.
